If you plan to teach at secondary level, the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) at Panchthar Multiple Campus (PMC), Phidim, Panchthar District, Koshi Province under Tribhuvan University (TU), Faculty of Education gives a clear four-year route. Students ask about majors, minors, year-wise courses, and teaching practice. This page answers those points using TU’s official B.Ed. structure.
Here’s the gist before you decide.
The B.Ed. runs four years (annual system) and requires 22 courses (2,200 marks) across communication skills, professional core, specialization major, specialization minor, and teaching practice. The program prepares teachers who can teach two subjects at secondary level.
Here’s the quick view for planning.
Affiliation: Tribhuvan University (FoE)
Duration and system: Four years; annual examinations
Structure: Groups A–E (Communication Skills; Professional Core; Major; Minor; Teaching Practice)
Total courses/marks: 22 courses; 2,200 marks
Year-wise load: 600 + 600 + 500 + 500 marks

Here’s what you’ll study over four years.
Group A (Communication Skills): General Nepali; General English.
Group B (Professional Core): Philosophical & Sociological Foundations of Education; Educational Psychology; Curriculum & Evaluation; one elective from Instructional Technology / ICT in Education / ICT in Specialized Subject.
Group C (Specialization Major): Ten papers in one area (e.g., Nepali, English, Mathematics, Science, Health & Physical Education, Population, Geography, Economics, History, Political Science).
Group D (Specialization Minor): Five papers in a different area from the major.
Group E (Teaching Practice/Practicum): School-based practice in the final year.
The degree builds strong subject grounding, classroom skills, and assessment literacy so you can teach two subjects confidently at secondary level and continue into postgraduate study if you choose.
Graduates enter secondary schools, community and private institutions, basic-to-secondary bridges, and education projects. Many continue to M.Ed. for leadership, training, or research roles under TU norms.
